Digiteen Action Project (50 Points)
Each action group will create a presentation for their Action Project and each group member will create an "artifact" of some kind (25 points) to go along with the group presentation (25 points). Even though this is a group project, each student will be graded individually based on their contributions to the group presentation and their "artifact" creation. See the details below for each group.
Group 1: Jenna, Jonathan, Neftali & Victoria
Each group member must create a poster related to Cyber-bullying prevention. Online resources for creating posters include Big Huge Labs: Motivator or Movie Poster using photos from Flickr - Turn on Safe Search and Creative Commons Find content to modify, adapt or build upon. The Flickr CC Search Toy is a fun tool to use to search for photos on Flickr because you can click on the image and then tell it to stamp the medium or large image and it will automatically create a credit for you on the image. If you use this tool, make sure to right-click and copy the URL on the "See on Flickr" link too & save that into your notes and do not use photos that have a NoDerivs license. Posters could also be created on standard poster board or using Word, Publisher or PowerPoint.
The group must create a presentation (either a Google Presentation or a Glog) Remember, presentations should be mostly visual. You should not be reading your slides or the Glog to your audience - what you will say belongs in your notes & you should have it memorized! Your presentation should include:
A definition of Cyberbullying (could be in text or via a video or some kind or could be on one of your posters)
Consequences of cyberbullying
How to prevent cyberbullying
Your poster images
At least one video about solutions to cyberbullying, if doing a Glog. If doing a Google Presentation, this could just be a list or series of slides.
Credits for all images that you did not create yourself or that are not part of Glogster. The only exceptions to this would be screen shots you take of sites and/or logos from sites. These can be used under a "fair use" policy since you are using them for academic purposes.
Create this on Computer #4 or the computer without a number between #10 & #11 or at home.
Glogs are not collaborative which means only one person can work on this piece at a time but everyone must contribute the posters and must detail what should be on the presentation using your Google Doc.
Make sure you save your image as SiteName.jpg (in your folder if you are at school) replacing site name with the actual site name.
You should upload this image and replace the image on your page. You may still need to adjust the size to fit correctly on your site review page. Add the Site Name under the image & link from the Site Name & the image to your site.
Each person needs to create their own review pages and don't forget you are reviewing these for use by 8-12 year olds and will be presenting to 5th Grade. To create a review page:
Click on the Create Page button and select the Site Review template.
The name of your page should be the name of the site you are reviewing (e.g., Club Penguin, Woogi World, etc.) and then click on Create Page.
Make sure to add a description of what the site "promised" it would be and then fill in the review portion of the site. Just delete the stars you don't need and replace the instruction text with your review. Be detailed in your review! Make sure you add a link to the site you reviewed!
The group must create a Google Presentation. Remember, presentations should be mostly visual. you should not be reading your slides to your audience - what you will say belongs in your notes & you should have it memorized! Your presentation should include:
A title slide
A slide about why tweens want to be on sites like Facebook. You might want a screen shot of Facebook for this or the Facebook logo.
A slide about why tweens shouldn't be on sites like Facebook - this should NOT be a "scare" presentation and focus on kidnapping & child predators; think about things like an 8 year old being friends with someone in high school (someone that has graduated from St. Martin's) and being able to see all the pictures and things posted to the wall by that person's friends. Or think of other things that younger children might be exposed to that arn't appropriate for their age group.
Slides about the recommended sites that you have reviewed. You will need to use a screen capture of the site for your presentation and details about your recommendation. You need to have at least 3 recommended sites.
A wrap up slide to recap the information and encourage the tweens to use sites other than Facebook.
Credits for all images that you did not create yourself. The only exceptions to this would be screen shots you take of review sites and/or logos from sites. These can be used under a "fair use" policy since you are using them for academic purposes.
Group 3: James, Jesse, Katrina & Margie
Each group member must create a poster related to Facebook Safety. Online resources for creating posters include Big Huge Labs: Motivator or Movie Poster using photos from Flickr - Turn on Safe Search and Creative Commons Find content to modify, adapt or build upon. The Flickr CC Search Toy is a fun tool to use to search for photos on Flickr because you can click on the image and then tell it to stamp the medium or large image and it will automatically create a credit for you on the image. If you use this tool, make sure to right-click and copy the URL on the "See on Flickr" link too & save that into your notes and do not use photos that have a NoDerivs license. Posters could also be created on standard poster board or using Word, Publisher or PowerPoint.
The group must create a Google Presentation. Remember, presentations should be mostly visual. you should not be reading your slides to your audience - what you will say belongs in your notes & you should have it memorized! Your presentation should include things like:
A title slide
Reasons why you would want to use the safety settings in Facebook
Recommendations for the safety settings in Facebook
Mistakes people make - can you find real world examples? Remember to make this applicable to 7th & 8th graders!
Consequences on not setting privacy settings - any real world examples? Make this applicable to 7th & 8th graders!
Top Facebook Safety Tips - screen shots of Profile Settings might be good to use on these pages while you explain what they mean. The Top Tips would be good to use for your posters.
Credits for all images that you did not create yourself. The only exceptions to this would be screen shots you take of sites or pages on sites and/or logos from sites. These can be used under a "fair use" policy since you are using them for academic purposes.
5/3
Digiteen Action Project Google Doc (50 points)
Each group must create an overview of their Action Project in a Google Doc - this document must contain:
Participant names
Project Title
Grade Level your project is geared to
What you will be educating about
Resources Needed
Group Member assignments (who is doing what on the project)
Project details: Posters that will be made or sites that will be reviewed, Presentation details - what will be included, pictures you will use, key points you will be emphasizing, etc.
While the Google Doc is a group effort, each student will be graded based on their individual contribution to the document.
5/3
Digiteen Wiki Editing (100 points)
Each student must add at least 100 words to their assigned Area of Awareness/Core Competency on the Digiteen Wiki using the research they have collected and tagged in the StM2011 Diigo Group. If a student contributes to the wiki by editing topic pages and correcting misspellings, adding links or citations, rewording things that were written in the 1st person, etc., then they can receive full credit by adding at least 50 words to their assigned topic. This is a judgement call, however, if the edits that were done were a few simple spelling corrections or font changes only, then more original work will be required.
If you would like to see what you have contributed to the Digiteen Wiki:
Change the first From date to 2/1/2011 and click the Update button. This will display all of the pages that you have changed.
Click on each page and go to the History tab on the page.
Click on each date where the Author is you. This will show you the changes that you made. If no changes show, then it means that you either clicked Edit & Save without making any changes or it could mean that you changed the font on a page but no actual text.
